Volunteer Opportunities

Cupertino Citizen Corps

When a natural or man-made disaster strikes, official emergency responders may not be able to reach everyone in need immediately. Residents involved in volunteer groups can provide the first line of assistance. With proper training, civilian volunteers expand the resources available to a local community.

Cupertino Citizen Corps is a network of volunteer groups that is essential to the City’s preparedness and resilience strategy. Make a difference in our community by volunteering to support local emergency responders, provide disaster relief and promote community safety. Be ready to respond to a disaster as part of Cupertino’s Citizen Corps team by joining the Cupertino Amateur Radio Emergency Service, Cupertino Emergency Response Team or the Medical Reserve Corps.

Cupertino Block Leader Program

Good neighborhoods are those where neighbors work together on common concerns and look out for each other. Block Leaders take extra steps to connect neighbors and build community -- helping our neighborhoods to be safer, healthier, and happier.

The Block Leader Program teaches residents how to get to know neighbors and organize activities so neighbors can more easily communicate. Block leaders receive updates on neighborhood activities and services and are vital links between City Hall and the neighborhoods.
